I think I like the walnut the best but the tiger wood is really cool too...I'm guessing a nice clear light satin finish where you can almost still feel the wood would be cool! How about the weight, does the tiger wood weigh lighter or heavier than the walnut? Is the walnut lighter or heavier than the other woods you have used?

I'll bet they will cost a pretty penny if they ever start importing them to the States, my friends in Canada could get them...but you are right Skip, better to save up for guitars and stay in good health at the same time.

Just stop up to Canada. You can get Cuban cigars there... Remember, Cuban mahogany is a species of mahogany and not a location. My source owns a managed grove of old growth in the South Pacific (where I get my Kelela from as well). It is protected as it was harvested nearly to extinction when they used it to build the Spanish Gallions and royalty furniture. It is the cream of the crop of mahogany, for sure and remarkably aromatic when being cut or worked.
